Cigaro parodies aside, here is the new Nova MKIII Catalyst Armor, I figured a change of persona from bad guy to uneasy ally in the fight against Sadistic warranted a brighter color scheme that better matched his normal look. XP
I touched this up with some simple coloring and even used some of the original sketch for shading in areas. The Visor is mostly chromed over (though it can all be seen through by Nova) with the straight dark center that doesn't reflect light in nearly the same way.
Parting from his old armors basic steel, leather, and tech makeup, the MKIII is more lightweight, and has levels of plastics, kevlar, carbon fiber, ballistic gels, and tech all woven in to maintain full range of motion and not be so weighed down while still retaining most of the suits natural amplifiers, sacrificing a tad bit of durability.
Saff busted up his last armor so might as well come back with something more futuristic and badass looking than his last design. Complete with MP3 functionality! xDD
I love how you can make something mechanical look so realistic. My step-father may have a challenge. You brought out a lot of bright colors in this photo. This is a problem, but then again, a positive. I do like the bright colors in the small plating like the legs and arms. The thick and larger plating for the feet should be a little darker. I am not saying you should do it even though it does say. I'm just giving a suggestion more than anything. I also do like the bright red for the armor. There's nothing wrong with it at all. It's a good design. Well done...
